#rsrh Blackshirts riot at G20 summit.

As usual.

Black-clad demonstrators broke off from a crowd of peaceful demonstrators protesting a global economic summit in Toronto, torching police cruisers and smashing windows with baseball bats and hammers.

Translation: violent goon squads detached themselves from the protective covering of their fellow-travelers in the radical anti-globalization movement and proceeded to go about their usual program of property damage, attempted intimidation, and plausibly-deniable domestic terrorism.  Business as usual, and it’s always fascinating to watch the media fall all over itself to not report that these guys are hardcore Lefties.

You know: South Korea is going to be hosting the G-20 in November.  That’s going to be… messy; the South Korean riot police are not exactly known for being sweetness and light with regard to people throwing things at them, and if the people doing the throwing aren’t actually South Koreans?  Well.  They probably won’t actually shoot anybody.

Probably.

#rsrh Blackshirts in Santa Cruz!

Radical Left-anarchist stripe, of course.

A large group of protesters demonstrating at a May Day rally for worker’s and immigrant rights downtown broke off into a riot vandalizing about a dozen businesses around 10:30 p.m. Saturday, police said.

Many in the group were carrying makeshift torches as they marched, breaking storefront windows and writing “anarchist graffiti” on buildings, according to Capt. Steve Clark. Many businesses sustained multiple broken windows including very large storefront windows at Urban Outfitters and The Rittenhouse building. Police believe at least 15 businesses suffered damage.

Via Ed Driscoll.  Blackshirts probably do more than any other faction of the Progressive Left to embarrass and marginalize the Progressive Left, bless their hearts: put enough of them in a crowd and you are absolutely guaranteed rioting, property damage, and – when the odds are at least six-to-one in their favor – maybe even a little assault and battery.  They are one major reason why the antiwar movement went precisely nowhere in the last decade, and if they’re metastasizing in ‘illegal immigrants’ rights’ groups, well, that’s good news for the people opposing those groups…

Before you ask, I’m amused, not incensed:

Primarily because I never had to worry that individuals like this would use my political faction’s rhetoric and, you know, mean it.  There’s something relaxing about knowing that every group of utter scoundrels in Western civilization still left unhung hate you and everything that you stand for; in fact, it’s invigorating.  I sincerely hope that the Obama administration finds itself in the same situation Real Soon Now.
